Official website for job seekers: https://www.digital-tottori.com/ Official website for companies: https://www.digital-tottori.com/lp Addressing the labor shortage in local companies is a critical issue for Tottori Prefecture, and the importance of securing and cultivating talent, particularly in the digital field, is increasing. Against this backdrop, Tottori Prefecture is continuing its "Digital Talent Development and Matching Project" this fiscal year to support reskilling for job seekers. This project is implemented by Tottori Prefecture, having been selected for the Ministry of Health, Labour and Welfare's "Regional Revitalization Employment Creation Project." It aims to create high-quality employment in the region by providing 3-5 months of digital skill acquisition support followed by job matching for job seekers inside and outside the prefecture who intend to find employment and settle in Tottori Prefecture. In the third iteration held last year, there were many applicants from both within and outside Tottori Prefecture. Tech I.S. will continue to be responsible for the operation of this project for the current fiscal year. Furthermore, approximately 40% of those who completed the third iteration have achieved outcomes leading to career development. This project aims to cultivate digital talent in the region and ensure their retention in local companies by providing not only digital skill acquisition support but also integrated job matching and access to local companies. - IT engineer (Web engineer, programmer, etc.) - In-house SE (Information systems department) - DX promotion staff - IT support staff/Help desk - Business improvement staff - Digital utilization promotion staff - Web production/Web operation staff - IT sales/Customer success - Data utilization/Data analysis assistant - No-code/Low-code development staff, etc. ◆ Why is Digital Talent Needed Now? In recent years, with the evolution of digital technology and the acceleration of DX (Digital Transformation), it has become crucial for companies to secure and cultivate "digital talent" who can not only introduce IT tools and systems but also utilize them to improve business processes and productivity. Regarding job openings related to digital talent in Tottori Prefecture (Source: Hello Work Internet Service, as of March 31, 2026), there is a certain number of openings targeting beginners, with approximately 54% of digital-related job openings accepting applicants with no practical experience. Given this situation, talent development through reskilling is expected to be an initiative that leads to not only career development for job seekers but also talent acquisition for companies. Furthermore, the recruitment and development of digital talent are expected to contribute to corporate growth, such as business expansion and sales growth, in addition to improving operational efficiency, productivity, work-style reform, and employee satisfaction. ◆ About the FY2026 Tottori Prefecture Digital Talent Development and Matching Project [Project Outline] Project name: FY2026 Tottori Prefecture Digital Talent Development and Matching Project Organizer: Tottori Prefecture Operator: Tech I.S.
